2017 Annual JazzFanz All-Time NBA Draft

Amare's defense was a bit better than Kanter's, I'll give him that.

Iso PNR, he'll get destroyed in this league. And he won't be able to stop any of the top 15 Centers he's going against.

Amare was a positive on defense in his prime years, at least according to advanced defensive stats.

I said he was better than Kanter.

His best years he was a mediocre defender. Which, as a big, can kill a team, as we learned from the Boozer/Okur years. And his conventional stats were inflated by D'Antonio/ Nash.
 
Top 5 years VORP:

AK = 7.5/5.5/4.8/4.1/3.8
AS = 4.0/3.9/2.4/1.9/1.6
AK was the 4th best player on that Jazz squad. Where did the others get picked at? Also that's some nice cherry picking of stats. Amare was a solid defender pre injury.
